We got the successor of the TX5, the Sony TX10, a water-proof, shock-proof camera and was able to test it out during our last scuba-diving session in Anilao, Batangas (t'was an Epson event). I've only had a short stint using the TX5 before and have not really reviewed it so I was expecting a bit more with the TX10. Turns out the TX10 is indeed every bit of an upgrade to the TX5. The Sony TX10 can now go down as deep as 16 feet (5 meters) compared to the previous 10 feet (3 meters) on the TX5. I was contemplating about it for a while and was thinking I'll just tell Sony Philippines that the loaner unit leaked if ever an unfortunate incident happens. The panoramic shots are just awesome and it's been like that even with the previous generations of the TX-series (starting with the TX5 and TX7; or was it way back with the TX1?). Suggested retail price of the Sony Cybershot TX10 is Php24,990. Sony finally lent me one of their limited Sony Vaio P to test out for a week.
